Comments on: Kyon on Haruhi: The Fighting of the Shadowy Gods Syndrome http://rainbowsphere.oniichannoecchi.com/archives/2499 Incidents of my Gensokyo Fri, 19 Mar 2010 11:06:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Shance http://rainbowsphere.oniichannoecchi.com/archives/2499#comment-5197 Shance Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:15:56 +0000 http://rainbowsphere.oniichannoecchi.com/?p=2499#comment-5197 About the first question, I can say that the fact that the Haruhi Universe offered another insight as to how we view things in a new perspective. Think of it as being fan of the main idea of the series, rather than being a fan of the series itself. And again, for the existentialism part, I tried to think of it as something that will only go along the boundaries of the Haruhi Universe. You can say that I tried to give an honest-to-goodness deduction of the characters in a "normal, yet unique" way, much like how Kyon does his. I daresay not to imitate Kyon, especially since he, even with his "normal" status, is a special case in himself, regardless even of the other brigade members. I just tried to define the existential terms with what understanding he may have according to how he sees the current gist of the world under Haruhi, God, Messiah or whatnot included.

the question that really comes to mind is: if you’re not a haruhi fan, what is it you’re a fan of?

also i second ghostlightning, whose existentialism are you coming from here?

The Supreme Being That Governs All Things is not always called God, and their subsequent Messiahs, all the more different. Like I said, I tried not to delve into that aspect too much, because it would only cloud the general understanding of the matter, which is supposed to be understood by the simplest means.

I'm afraid I can't really comment further since much of your analysis is colored by this factor.
